A Proposal To Resolve Kashmir Dispute

By S. A. Rehman - A Peace Activist from Pakistan

1 February 2008

1. The resolution of the Indian Kashmir dispute does not lie in accordance to the aspirations and the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir but it ought to be sought / resolved in their best interest based on ground realities.

2. It will be an economic suicide for Pakistan if it tries to merge Indian Kashmir into it. Likewise, if the Kashmiris living in India either annex themselves with Pakistan or break up with India, will have to suffer a great economic deprivation / disaster.

3. Pakistan itself, has not been able to satisfy its four provinces and the tribal areas on the matter of autonomy by today. Then how would it satisfy Kashmiris on the same issue in case of their accession to Pakistan and surely it wouldn't be able to do so. Confronting this precarious situation, the discontented Kashmiris will have to launch another long struggle for their freedom, but this time against Pakistan, resulting into another civil war and a humanitarian crisis.

4. Have Kashmiris and their imprudent leadership ever pondered that if they ever get their freedom from India by hook or by crook, India would be obliged to cut off their utility supplies? It will block their road, rail connections and put an end to all means to access airport, seaports and other facilities. Their trade and industry that is mainly linked / associated with the Indian economy will be ruined. Millions of Kashmiris will have to face the nightmare of unemployment due to economic downfall and its people will be on their way to a complete destruction and death. What will happen if India takes all these measures against a hostile landlocked neighbor?

Pakistan itself is crisis-stricken and has already suffered very badly due to the Kashmir cause. Moreover, Pakistan's economy and political conditions are even worse than India and Kashmiris must not expect any good from them either. And what does PAKISTAN have to offer them as it is itself surviving at the mercy of American and European aids. Imagine, in the situation where every need and facility of Kashmiri people and all means to earn their livelihood are gone, the value of the property is crashed, the value of the Currency becoming ZERO, and they are landlocked and alienated from the rest of the world altogether, having no international backing, will this ridiculous and foolish decision not be called an Act of Madness.

5. Kashmiri leadership, with its foolish demands, has been showing hostility towards its own people and the peoples of both the countries of India and Pakistan. After having made them disgusted and disenchanted, it has deliberately been causing India and Pakistan to fight against each other.

6. Now the time has come when Kashmiri leadership should give up treachery, deception and FOOLISH demands and guide its people to the cause of economic prosperity, welfare and well being of the humanity, and must change themselves to save KASHMIR from becoming the real PARADISE OF FOOLS.

7. Kashmiri people should devise a meaningful strategy for its brighter future by remaining an integral part of the present set up on one side and demanding some more benefits and provincial autonomy from Indian government on the other through a peaceful dialogue and with full participation in the elections. Only this judicious decision can guarantee a peaceful, respectable and brighter future for them and their children. They must act wisely as they have no other choice but to stay in the present set up to avoid a major catastrophe.

What is being offered today by Kashmiri Leadership is "Death, Destruction and Sufferings".
